..if you should make this little quilt…expect lots and lots of SNOW!!
Last night I had a HEN party. I belong to a Ladies Group that has been meeting for 30 years now..!! Yikes!! We meet twice a month in our homes…with luncheons in between (at restaurants). We do like to eat!! Anyways, last night it was my turn to have the meeting…I always pick the last meeting before our Christmas Social because I like to have the ladies do some kind of craft. Now, this is not a crafty group so the simpler the better…if you get my gist! (Sorry ladies but…it’s true!! ) Thank goodness I have all these Grade One crafts to fall back on…
So last night this is what they made…
Bird feeders…perfect for right now…what with all the snow on the ground! (AND MORE FALLING!!)
You wire a loop at the top of the pinecone, put a fabric scrap bow on top…stuff the mixture of suet/lard and oatmeal in all the little cracks and then roll it in birdseed! Done!!
I must say the ‘girls’ were thrilled…so much so that several of them are going to be making them with their Grandkids next time they babysit! I forgot to take pictures of the girls in action so you could actually see the fun for yourselves…Oh well next year for sure!
And FINALLY~
To all my American Blogging Buddies a very Happy Turkey Day to YOU and YOURS!!
Wish I could pop in for a slice of pumpkin pie to go with my coffee!!
Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Quilting!~P
Thanks Paulette! I love that craft project. Perfect for this time of year! I'm sure the birdies love it too. I so love that snow buddy quilt. On Primitive Gatherings Website, I noticed they have it kitted up. I think I may have to get it because I love your so! Happy Thursday! If I could send you some pie right now, I would!!
ReplyDeleteJust love your snowmen quilts and this one has done it's job. It's very snowy indeed and still falling over here this morning!
ReplyDeleteI finally started my snowman quilt - woohoo! You truly inspired me to pull it out of the zip lock bag and get started. LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow - I'm craving snow. Sigh!
Perfect craft for your "Hen Party".
Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes and now I'm off to start cooking. :-)
Wonderful snowman quilt--Happy Thanksgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love that snowman quilt - snow and all! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteLove your Snowman quilt. BUT I don't think it would snow where I live in Central Florida ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the quilt in the snow.
ReplyDeleteAdorable little snowman quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt fits in perfect for the snow.
ReplyDeleteLove your bird feeders.
Debbie
I am still really, really in love with that snowman pattern. Looks wonderful in the snow!
ReplyDeleteSo it's your fault we have all this snow! Your quilt does have a great backdrop though-good job! So how many ladies are in your group?
ReplyDeleteWow!! We don't even have snow yet. But it's cold outside. Brrrr...! Love that quilt. It's so gorgeous!! And those bird feeders are such a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Hugs Ariane
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice crafty type item for a group to make.
ReplyDeleteI have the Let It Snow pattern now but I think I had better not make it. I don't want any snow here in Florida. We have company coming from up north and they would not be happy.
Now that is just the cutest darn quilt - I adore it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving! ;)
I would make that quilt right now if I thought it would really snow. It's 80 degrees today, same for tomorrow when we go Christmas shopping in our shorts and flip flops. I love that quilt whether it brings snow or not.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowmen! Really cute! And your pine cone treats too!
ReplyDeleteThat little quilt is too darling! Love the birdfeeders too - but you can keep the SNOW!
ReplyDeleteThe snowman quilt is very sweet! We have been feeding the birds for over a month already, and in this cold weather they are at the feeder almost all day. 15 cm of snow and -15C cold, and windy!
ReplyDeleteOK - perfect craft for this season. Could I have your sird seed mixture recipe. My kids in sunday school could make this Sunday in Sunday School....I'd really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteMiss Paulette I love your snowman quilt! It's just darling!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle when I read about your "first grade crafts". Sometimes those are the best....I was always amazed at what my kids brought home at the holidays! I've done those pinecone feeders before....have to do those again!
